tiny newsletter #194: 29, feeling fine

hi friends! 

yday was my bday! and if you had told me 5 yrs ago “on your 29th bday, you'll go to the soft opening of a restaurant you and your future biz partner did all the branding for, and they'll all love it, and also there'll be a negroni fountain??" i wouldn't have believed you. feeling v lucky!

this week, i...

❤️ hung out w my parents + fotn madeline warshaw! everyone came to visit! madel and i heard berlant & novak live, ate a fancy din at cove, and both caught a bad cold. my fam was v nice re: me losing my voice and enjoyed monet's paintings at the bk museum as much as i did. 

🎨 celebrated w my friends at happy medium. it's an art cafe, where the idea is you walk in and order an ~ art experience ~ instead of a meal. aka for my bday, everyone did crafts together!! i painted a small vase, excited to pick it up next week. ty pals for making me feel so loved. 

🎧 listened to lily allen's new album. omg, have you heard it yet? as fotn eleonora saravalle reminded me, “this is just one side's story", but you've gotta listen to the lyrics in west end girl anyways. no spoilers, put it on!
